Welcome to Lyrical Ludology, the podcast exploring the lyric games niche of tabletop roleplaying games...
I am your host, Logan, coming to you from Wurundjeri Country.
After a wonderfully successful season 1 of Lyrical Ludology, I am so excited to present season 2! This crowdfund is to raise money to hire an editor, and it is no longer feasible for me to edit the episodes alone and unpaid.
Lyrical Ludologyexplores the lyric games niche of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) through short interviews and designer deep-dives. While there is no one blueprint for a lyric game, common elements include ties to real-life, poetic writing, highly interpretable text, and weird or uncanny mechanics. Think of it as the 'experimental' corner of the TTRPG world.
By supporting this campaign, you are:
🏳️⚧️ directly supporting queer creatives 💕 bringing passionate, nerdy discussion to the wider world 🌱 helping grow and chronicle the TTRPG space 😎 being super cool
A low-end tier for those who would like to support, but with low expendable cash.
🗣️ Shoutout
The base tier. Anyone who backs at this tier will get a shoutout by name at the end of one episode of Lyrical Ludology season 2!
🗣️🗣️ ShoutoutPlus
The same as Shoutout, but for those with a bit more to chip in. I will say your name in a funny voice.
🧙🏼 Gender Wizard
For season 2, I will be introducing a new gender horoscope. Back at this tier to receive a shoutout and choose the gender for one episode of Lyrical Ludology season 2. Current genders on the horoscope list include botanical, void, bones and circuitry. This tier is strictly limited to one gender horoscope per episode.
👀 Summoner
At this luxury tier, you get to influence the order of episode release. Yes, that means I will reveal all the guests to you...
What people say about Season 1
🏆 Award-Winning
I was so pleased to have Lyrical Ludology win at The Awards in 2024 for highlighting niche yet beloved content with passion. Thank you to the judges and all my listeners!
I don't want to overcomplicate this campaign, I just want to get some really high quality TTRPG discussions to your ears as soon as possible.
Any amount made over the base funding goal will go towards covering me for my past interview and editing time, and perhaps go towards future seasons!

Timeline
We aim to begin the editing and admin work as soon as the campaign ends successfully, so stay tuned for Lyrical Ludology Season 2 in the second half of 2026!
Risks
This is not my first crowdfund (just my first time using Backerkit), so I know what it takes to get a project over the line.
All episodes are already recorded and ready for editing, so I can guarantee 7 incredible new guests for season 2!
Since this product is digital-only, there are no risks associated with printing or shipping. Overall, very low risk.
